Ch 18 First Task pt 2
Everyone was stunned at what Ritsuka did as he lowered his hand. "Impossible you say? I am quite experienced in this than you, partially an expert." She smirks at the old man.
Dumbledore turns around to see the expression on the wooden pillar as it too was smoking. "W-What was that?" he asked as Ritsuka rolled his eyes.
"It's my form of Magecraft, old coot." He said, "Haven't you all been listening."
"Vhatever it iz, it's an unknown kind of magic that I never have seen before," Maxime said impressed of the young magus. "I vould like to see more of zis Magecraft." She said.
"Maxime, surely you can't be suggesting that Po-Fujimaru would use this 'Magecraft' during the first task?" Dumbledore said. "Clearly, it will break traditions."
"Headmaster Dumbydore, see zhat Monsieur Fujimaru does not own a wand. It's only right to let him use his Magecraft." The French Headmistress said.
"I have to agree, it's only fair," Karloff said obviously wanting to see more of his craft.
Bagman came forward "I see the two out of the Champion's respected school agrees, how about you Mr. Schweinorg?" he asked the Dead Apostle. "What's your take on this?"
"Call me Zelretch, and as I said before. I want to see what my apprentice is capable of." He said.
"Very well, three out of four that's the majority of the schools saying that Magecraft will be used by Har-Ritsuka Fujimaru." Bagman said then looks at Dumbledore. "Is that all right with you Headmaster?" he asked.
Dumbledore felt defeated, his fellow headmasters voted to see Harry's magic in action. He sighs "Very well, we'll let Mr. Pot-Fujimaru use his 'Magecraft'." He said to them.
"Excellent," Zelretch cheered. "Now what's the next step?" he asked Bagman.
"T-The next step is for the Champions to choose the dragons from this bag." He said as Barty Crouch Sr. took out a bag. Fleur was first as she took out a green dragon.
"The Common Green Welsh." He said as Victor was next taking out his.
"The Chinse Fireball, ooh," he said giving the bag to Cedric.
"The Swedish Short-Snout." He said to him. "That leaves…" he hands over the bag to the Magus as he reached in to have in his hand a spiked dragon.
"The Hungarian Horntail," he said smiling. The Dragon stared at Ritsuka and snuggles in his palms. The action of the Horntail shock the wizards as they are known for attacking wizards, but this one seemed to like the Magus.
"I think he smells Lancer and Sieg on me." He jokes as he pets the small dragon with his finger.
Gawain, Nightingale, and Zelretch chuckles at his joke. "Indeed, you do have that effect on people." The nurse said. "Even dragons."
Soon music starts playing outside the tent. "Oh, it's time to start," Barty said. "Ms. Delacour, you're up first." He said to the French student as he opens the tent.
Ritsuka got a quick look to see that the Knights of the Roundtable, Waver, Reines, Mashu, and Hishiri sitting down looking at the field. Holmes, Gil, Siegfried, and Sanson looking at Drake, Beowulf, and Billy cheering for Fleur.
Marie, Kiyohime, and Tammao cheering as well with a routine they practiced while Elizabeth was recording the event with a camera live so all of Chaldea can see him compete. Soon Zelretch and the other judges left to the judges stand.
He turns to his Servants who stood behind him. "You know you can go join the others," Ritsuka said to them.
"Yes, but I rather stay by your side, master," Gawain said to him.
"As do I, I want to be here to heal you after you face the Hungarian Horntail," Nightingale said.
Cedric walks up to Ritsuka "Your servants are loyal to you," he said to him.
"Of course we are. He gains our loyalty by being himself and understanding each and every one of us," Gawain said.
"For me, he's always getting injured," Nightingale said. "As a nurse, I take upon myself to aid him as his nurse." She said.
Ritsuka smiles. "Come now, you two are over exaggerating." He said. "I just did what has to be done at the time."
"Give yourself some credit, you're an excellent leader in those times," Gawain said to him. "And I speak to everybody." He said.
Ritsuka blushed and rub the back of his head a bit flustered by his servant's admiration of him. "Wow, what did you do to gain these admirations?" Cedric asked.
Ritsuka pounders a bit. "It's a long story," he said smiling. As they turn their attention to Fleur in the arena.
Fleur manages to retrieve the egg by luring the Common Green Welsh into a sleeping trance. But she didn't come out unscathed, she got burns on the legs. Victor was up next as he faced the Chinese Fireball.
He cast a binding spell on the dragon as it stumbles behind her as she accidentally crushed her nest of eggs. Not before retrieving the egg from the nest. He received points then lost a few for letting the dragon crushed her eggs. Cedric was after him as he faced the Swedish Short snout.
Cedric went for distracting the dragon by transfiguring a rock into a Golden Retriever to distract the dragon while he retrieves the egg. It works for a while as Cedric was about to get the Golden Egg when she decided to go after the Hufflepuff student instead. Cedric manages to grab the egg as the Swedish Short-Snout breaths fire burning his left cheek but manage to escape.
Cedric staggers as he got inside the tent with the egg in his hands. His father went up to him and gave him a big hug. "Cedric, my son you made me so proud." Amos smiles.
"Thanks, dad," he said feeling a bit lightheaded.
Ritsuka has this suspicion and was about to say something to him when Ludo Bagman walks in front of him. "Mr. Po-Fujimaru, it's your turn to retrieve the egg." He said to the final master.
Ritsuka looks at Cedric as he walks to the bench where Fleur was also not looking so good. He sighs as he looks at the wizard. "Fine," he said walking out.
Once he walked out of the tent the announcer introduced him. "AND FOR OUR FINAL CHAMPION, REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CHALDEA SECURITY ORGANIZATION, HAR-RITSUKA FUJIMARU!"He said as the cheers came from most of the audience. By most only the Chaldeans, Hermione, and Ginny.
The Horntail growls at him as she was guarding her nest. Ritsuka quickly spots the golden egg with the rest of the brood in the nest.
"BEAT THE DRAGON'S ASS MASTER!" Drake shouted as the servants cheer on.
Ritsuka smirks as he raised his hand in the form of a gun.
"Lily and James look closer at the movement of their son's hand. "What is he do-"
"Schießen," he said as a red beam shot the dragon in the face as she roars in pain. The Horntail reacted as she charges at him. Ritsuka moves out of the way as he rolled on the ground soon his arm aimed for the dragon as he shot a barrage of different colored beams.
The Horntail was being pushed back as the colorful beams keep on coming. The wizards were in shock that he can perform wandless magic, and to their surprise, it's effective on the dragon.
"HE CAN USE WANDLESS MAGIC!" Lily cried out as she witnesses the feat before her.
James was unable to speak as he sees Harry one-upping the dragon without breaking a sweat.
" AMAZING RITSUKA FUJIMARU CAN PERFORM WANDLESS MAGIC!" the Announcer before Zelretch whisper something in his ear. "H-HOLD ON I GOT CONFIRMATION THIS WANDLESS MAGIC IS MAGECRAFT!" he said as most of the audience cheered for the magus.
Soon Ritsuka stops as the Horntail breaths fire at him. He dodges the flames and rolled over to a boulder as the flames intense heat scorched it. Ritsuka took out three blue gems and a green one in his other hand. "YOU CAN DO IT, MASTER!" Kiyohime shouts as the moment to move are open.
Ritsuka looked at the dragon as the flames soon faded and took the opening. "Schild "he threw the green gem in front of him a green shield appears before him swirling as the Horntail breaths fire at him as he runs.
"That shield won't hold, Protego is the strongest shield charm than his weak ass spell," Charles said as he watches his brother.
The Horntail's flames hit the emerald shield as it held out longer than the Protego charm. This made some impressed as the emerald shield didn't seem to be cracking from the intense heat. Soon the fire resided as the dragon huffs,
Charles got up from his seat shock to see that the shield was still up. "How? How can that be possible!" he exclaims.
"It's dark magic, Charles," Ron said as Charles's lackeys agree.
Ritsuka took the moment as the Horntail to recharge its breath. The three blue gems were in between his fingers as he chants in a German "Große Wintergeister frieren deinen Feind ein!" he chants as he releases the three gems at the dragon. Each of the gems soon explodes into white clouds one by one as ice forms on the scales of the Horntail, freezing where she stands.
"RITSUKA FUJIMARU MANAGE TO FREEZE THE HORNTAIL IN IT'S PLACE!" The Announcer said.
"That's my boy!" Zelertch exclaims standing up from his seat.
Hermione was impressed at how Ritsuka handle the task as he walks up to the nest grabbing the egg. "I have to say, that was entertaining than the others." She said.
Ginny nodded "So every mage has their own magic they practiced?"
"Yes Ms. Weasley, even I have my own Magecraft that is unique to me," Hishiri said.
"Really?" Hermione said intriguingly.
"Mpf, of course, mongrel," Gil said. "Mages in the ages have been perfecting their craft to suit their needs, even teaching their descendants to continue on the line." He said to them.
"Interesting, mages sounds like their more powerful than wizards." She said.
"You have no idea," Gil replied.
Ritsuka walks to the nest grabbing the Golden egg when the frozen dragon broke free of the ice prison and rushes at the magus. He didn't have time to place another shield as he was hit by the claw as he contacted the arena's wall. The Horntail seems like it's out of it as it rushes towards him smashing her head on the wall.
Before the dragon smashes the wall Ritsuka rolled out of the way and shot multiple gems at her. The Horntail roared again but this time the roar was in agonizing pain. 'What the…" Ritsuka looked at the Horntail as her eyes were all white like she was processed.
The dragon soon charges at him again, with reinforcement in his limbs he was able to jump away before she breathes fire once again at him. Ritsuka took out an orange gem. "Schild " and threw it on the ground creating another shield. He saw the exit wide open but he can't let this dragon be free to do whatever she wants. He knew if he leaves her that way a lot of people would get injured. "I got no chose."
He looks at his Command Seals as he raised it high "By my order!" he shouts as the markings on his hand glowed.
All of the wizards saw the red glow. "What is that?" James said looking closer.
"Come to me…Lancer!" Ritsuka shouts as a summoning circle appears before him and a flash of light soon covers the arena. Everyone closed their eyes from the brightness. The light faded away as an ominous fog shrouds the area where Ritsuka was. (Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia OST Goddess of the Underworld)
Everyone peered to see what is happening as a figure of a blonde woman stood beside Ritsuka. The fog subsided to reveal a clearer perspective of the figure. A young blonde woman in pigtails and a black cape stood next to him. She slowly opens her eyes revealing the crimson pupils. "You called me, master?" The Lancer said.
Every wizard looked in fear of the Lancer as she looks around, "My, these humans are so behind with times." She said.
Dumbledore stood up from his seat from the shock that Harry has summoned…
"RITSUKA FUJIMARU HAS SUMMONED A DEMON BY HIS SIDE!" the Announcer said as everyone went ballistic in fear of the woman.
Hermione and Ginny were about to leave in fear before they look back. "She's not doing anything," Hermione said.
"Just relax, master just summoned Lancer." The Ruler said as Ritsuka moves next to her.
"Lancer? You mean she's a Servant!" she said as everyone heard her.
"Yes," Waver said as one by one the wizards calmed down and sat down.
"MASTER!" Ereshkigal moves in front of him and summons her lance twirling it creating a shield to block the fire.
The dragon broke free from the chains as she flew in the air. Ereshkigal gritted her teeth. "Damn it, master your orders!" she shouts.
The Horntail soon flew back down ready to attack. Ritsuka looked at the Goddess. "Lancer, use your authority to control the dragon." He orders her.
She nods as she flew up in the air as many gasps. She prostrates her lance in front of her "By my order dragon, heed my authority!" she said as the Horntail stops in her tracks glaring at the Goddess of the Underworld.
Ereshkigal soon notices something off from the Horntail. "Heed my authority! Break free from this spell!" she cried out at red lances spiral around her that generates electricity around them as it aims for the Horntail.
They impaled her as the dragon roared in pain. "Heed me once more, break free from the influence of those who would control you!" she cried as red flames cover her body and on the Horntail as it roars in pain. (End Song)
The dragon fell from the sky landing on the ground creating a crater on the stony field. Soon cheers erupt from the crowd as Ereshkigal floats down to the dragon petting it. "(Rest now, and let Kur blessed you on your recovery.)" She whispers to her as the dragon moans in her sleep.
Ritsuka walks up to his servant with the golden egg in his arms. "This is not how a dragon would act." He said to the Goddess.
"Agree," she said, "Someone must've to control her mind," Ereshkigal said.
Ritsuka looks at the crowd as they applauded him for his victory. "I think that person is in the crowd or with the staff." He said eyeing everyone.
